OSB Versus Plywood Sheathing

Custom builder Matt Risinger talks about the pros and cons of OSB and plywood sheathing options.

Have you ever seen a house that was framed with Thermoply sheathing? Here's a "custom" home I took a picture of a few weeks ago that used this (seems like cardboard to me) sheathing.

What a HOT Mess, there are so many things wrong with this picture it's hard for me to even start! It's a nightmare for water leaks at the windows, there is no overhang so there WILL be water on the face of this sheathing, and it's going to leak air at every electrical outlet on the outside walls. This house will be lucky to survive past it's first mortgage. But let's get back to the question at hand. OSB vs Plywood sheathing. Here's a video I shot last week on a new house I'm building in Barton Creek outside Austin, TX.
